don't use WOT to D12X. heat circles it then just start to lean it step by step. keep the engine at around 100c or 220f. don't need to add shim for 30%. mine is 0.3mm with 25%. the engine comes with 0.3+0.1mm shims. about ten tanks the engine will wake up.

30% no problem. Just make sure it has enough lube and not overheat.

I was seeing if there was any update on the release of the new onroad motor. I just got a new (picco) sheperd speed kit but have not been able to test it yet since my motor died unless i go with a older buggy motor. thanks
oh and roughly how much is it expected to go for
